The Record

VALLEY SPRINGS - Just hours after he appeared in court, accused Valley Springs bomb maker Camron Patelzick was arrested again, this time on a charge of committing battery on a spouse.

The Calaveras County Sheriff's Department reported that it was called to Patelzick's home on Thornicroft Drive in the Rancho Calaveras subdivision of Valley Springs at 11:39 p.m. Monday. Just hours earlier, Patelzick had been in court in connection with charges stemming from his arrest on Dec. 1.

That day, investigators with the Sheriff's Department searched his home and said they found a bomb and bomb-making materials. They also found evidence at Patelzick's home implicating co-defendant Keith Vernon Moore. Moore, also of Valley Springs, faces bomb-making charges.

Patelzick, 36, and his wife, Brandy Felts-Patelzick, 36, were in the news last year after their 7-year-old son, Symon, died in a tragic accident while walking to his school bus stop on Jan. 28, 2009.

LODI - Recent burglary victims can search for stolen property today during a showing of recovered jewelry, electronics and other items from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Police Department's community room at 215 W. Elm St.

SACRAMENTO - Assemblywoman Alyson Huber, D-El Dorado Hills, has introduced a bill in the Legislature that would require commissions and agencies to undergo periodic reviews to assess their effectiveness.

The bill is AB1659. Track it online at www.leginfo.ca.gov/bilinfo.html.
